<a href="#zrdn-recipe-container" class="zrdn-recipe-quick-link">Jump to recipe</a><p>In the heat of the summer, there&#8217;s nothing quite like a refreshing, cold michelada. A michelada is a flavorful, refreshing beer cocktail served ice cold and prepared to your liking &#8211; whether that&#8217;s citrusy, spicy, or saucy.</p>
<p>Who says you can&#8217;t enjoy life while on Weight Watchers?</p>
<p>When I launched Grub Delite, I promised to remake my old recipes to make them more WW-compliant. Since I just got back from a week-long vacation, I opted for the easiest remake I could possibly do. My <a href="https://grubdelite.com/2012/02/25/mmmmmmmmmichelada/">MMMMMMMMMichelada recipe</a> from 2012 is so simple, it&#8217;s almost silly for me to remake it. But I managed to slim it down a tad by using a light beer instead of a regular Mexican lager like I did in the original.</p>
<p>Michelada roughly translates to &#8220;my cold beer,&#8221; and the &#8220;my&#8221; indicates that it&#8217;s your style. Because there are tons of variations of micheladas out there, I will also share another version this week. Michelada &#8211; two ways! And both versions are each only 3 points. Salud to that!</p>
<p><strong>Original Michelada Remake:</strong></p>
<p>By Rachel Ingersol</p>
<p>Prep Time: 5 minutes Yields: 1 serving, WW = 3 Freestyle Points</p>
<p><em>Ingredients:</em></p>
<p><em>1 bottle or can of light beer, 12 ounces</em></p>
<p><em>Tajin seasoning (found in the produce aisle near the fruit or in ethnic markets)</em></p>
<p><em>½ a large lime</em></p>
<p><em>4 dashes Mexican Maggi sauce (can substitute with soy sauce)</em></p>
<p><em>3 dashes hot sauce</em></p>
<p><strong>Directions</strong>:</p>
<p>1) Rim a cold pint glass first using the lime, then rim glass with the Tajin seasoning.</p>
<p>2) Squeeze the lime juice into the bottom of the glass.</p>
<p>3) Add the Maggi sauce and hot sauce and mix well.</p>
<p>4) Pour the beer in and enjoy!</p>

<p>The second version is what I always drink with my girl, Rachael. And it&#8217;s even stupid-easier to make than the previous one. Rachael only likes the Tajin rim and lime juice in the beer.</p>
